I am new here. Do not know much. But am looking to buy my first electric car. An S, X or 3.
If I plunk down $1000 now for the 3, how long will I have to wait?
Also, no unlimited free charging on the 3? Am I right? THANKS.
~700 bucks assuming $0.19 per KwH and 300 Wh/Mile ishThanks everyone.
Regarding the charging at Home. Say if I drove 12000 miles a year.....just BALL PARK, how much would my yearly electric bill go up?
I have no idea. 200 300 500 bucks ?? THANKS
In LA, electricity for my Model 3 costs 1/5th of what gas does to travel the same distance.Thanks everyone.

Most likely just making myself feel better with this (just recently reserved) but here goes anyway.
1. I think A LOT of reservation holders are deferring for standard battery and/or AWD. In fact, (from data in the "Invites tracking spreadsheet" linked from TMC) 64% of invitees in the last week have deferred for one reason or another. Something that bears this out a bit is next...
2. Assuming said spreadsheet is a good indicator of the trends/percentages across all US/Canada reservations, 80% of reservations to this point were day 1 or 2. Almost half of those have already been invited to configure. I know they just started some Canada invites. Everything I've seen/read has pointed to an even higher preference for AWD in Canada.
The big question at that point may be this: Once all day 1 reservation holders have been invited and either configured or deferred (only talking non-owners here) - keep in mind this day might be coming quicker than we think based on the defer rate referenced above - does Tesla then turn around and start building the other options? Or do they get through everyone else's invites regardless of reservation date (should happen really quickly) and clear the First Production config and then open up the options?
Assuming Tesla isn't going to suddenly break their stride in the ramp up and start offering different configurations, not to mention the financial reasons for Tesla building the expensive ones first, if you are one of the people who wants First Production (LR, PUP, RWD) I think we may be pleasantly surprised at how "quick" our number comes up.
If you haven't reserved yet, I'd say your chances for a full tax credit are close to zero. In the best scenario, full tax credit will run thru the end of 2018. By Q2 end they will likely deliver ~20K M3s and assuming 5k/week production rate at the end of Q2 AND no deliveries outside U.S. during Q3, Q4 (unlikely), they can make ~26*5,000=130K cars eligible for a full credit. They might be able to increase output some between Q2 and Q4, but they will also deliver outside U.S., so ballpark of MAX sold in U.S. with full credit will be ~150K.If I can get the full tax credit I probably would jump at the chance but am not getting my hopes up that I will be invited in time for that to happen.

I believe the current orders are over 400K, some say 445K of which half are likely international orders, i.e. 200K+ U.S. orders in front of you.
But you may qualify for $3750 credit, which will likely last thru Q2 of 2019.
Really? That’s interesting. In WA we have some of the cheapest electricity (8-10 per) and I think it was “only” about a 50-60% savings. Still great obviously but I’d be interested to see how the 80% savings pans out in CA
If I drove 1000 miles in my old car (Nissan Altima) around LA, I would average about 22mpg. I'd use 45.5 gallons of gas. Average price of a gallon is $3.58, so that would cost me $163.
If I drive 1000 miles in my Model 3 and get 240Wh/mi, that would use 240kWh. I pay $0.15/kWh so that would cost me $36.
$36 / $163 = 0.22, so the electricity is costing me 22% of what the gas would.
Sorry, not trying to be rude, but you’re kidding right?Hi,
I ordered my Model 3 (everything except Full Autopilot) almost 2 weeks ago. I still don't have a VIN(At least I don't see one, I see the Reservation Number, and all the Completed Steps. I'm in Southern Taxifornia. When do you think I'll get my car?
I configured on April 10th, and also don’t have a VIN yet. I reserved 2 years 1 month and 4 days ago.Hi,
